Mandy Moore Confirms That None of Us Are Prepared For the This Is Us Super Bowl Episode

Are you sitting next to a box of tissues, a bar of chocolate, and someone whose shirt you can sob into? Yes? Okay good, because This Is Us will be playing right after the Super Bowl, and the episode will reportedly be quite an emotional one.

On Thursday, Mandy Moore (who plays Rebecca Pearson on the show) posted a selfie on her Instagram stories, writing, "Watched the Super Bowl episode last night with the cast and I’m still not okay."

If she is not OK, how are we supposed to be OK?!

The Instagram only confirms all of our greatest fears—that this episode will reveal the details behind Jack Pearson's death, an event the entire series has been leading up to until now.

Last week, This Is Us revealed that a slow cooker might have had something to do with Jack's death, as audiences saw a fire start to consume the Pearson house. Ahead of the Super Bowl episode, Isaac Aptaker, This Is Us executive producer, told Entertainment Weekly: “Questions will be answered in a very satisfying way. It’s not necessarily what people expect, but people will have a lot of the answers they’ve been hoping for. It is a very, very exciting episode. We shot it early, so we had extra time to make sure everything was perfect in editing. It was one of my favorite episodes we’ve ever done, and I think it’s really going to blow people away.”

The world will never be ready!
